The story so far
Everything you need before watchingWhere do you go once you have had a peak? Rob says greatness is hard to match; Steve would rather have flashes of genius than a lifetime of mediocrity. Scallops, pigeon and another round of lamb land on the table while someone recites Kubla Khan and someone else compares it with Olivia Newton-John's Xanadu. The line about being taken for a fool keeps coming back.
